A flexible resilient member at least partially overlying an electrical switch, and attached to an external surface of the switch, comprises at least one signalling component operable on operation of the underlying switch. The member may be in the form of a membrane, for example, formed of an elastomeric material. The signalling component may emit wireless signals which may be received by a monitoring component.

A candidate graph crossing point counter can be initialized. Level pairs can be sorted in descending order according to a number of connections between the level pairs. Evaluation of the candidate graph can progress according to the order of the level pairs so that those pairs likely to have the greatest number of connections are processed first. While the candidate graph crossing point counter is at an intermediate value and before a crossing point total is calculated for the candidate graph, it can be determined that the intermediate value is at least as great as a crossing point total of a best current graph for the directional graph. Calculation of the candidate graph crossing point total can be halted at the intermediate value. The candidate graph can be discarded from a possibility of being a minimized graph during a determination of a graph drawing for the directional graph.

According to exemplary embodiments, method and systems for software accessibility testing are provided. Aspects of the exemplary embodiments include: obtaining accessibility information on content of a graphical user interface (GUI) of software under test, wherein accessibility information is content of the GUI for which describing text is available or content of the GUI which is accessible by keyboard use; determining content of the GUI which should not be available in a test due to a lack of accessibility information; restricting the GUI to restrict access to the content not available; and providing the restricted GUI to a user for testing.
